Jeral Perez
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Perez projects most realistically as a bat-forward second baseman with a chance to contribute in a role that shuttles between Triple-A and the majors if the hit tool stabilizes. The power foundation is there—evidenced by double-digit home run production in a full minor league season—but recent struggles at higher levels suggest his approach and swing need refinement before he can handle big-league pitching. With limited physical projection left, improvement will come from better swing decisions, small mechanical cleanup, and incremental defensive polish at second base. The ceiling looks like a second-division regular or strong bench piece if everything clicks, but the more conservative expectation is an up-down utility type whose value is tied to streaky power and acceptable infield defense. His timeline aligns with a late-20s arrival as he consolidates performance across Double-A and Triple-A.
